Ailes’ latest comments come on the heels of a National Enquirer report that further details Henry’s alleged affair. The Enquirer report offers raunchy details that include Henry allegedly spending $2,000 at a strip club on “private lap dances and champagne.”

Before taking his leave of absence, Henry was covering the Hillary Clinton campaign for Fox News. The Ailes statement is a strong sign that Henry won’t be returning to the campaign trail for the network anytime in the near future — if he ever does.

Prior to joining FNC, Henry was at CNN from 2004 to 2011, serving as the network’s senior White House correspondent and a congressional correspondent. He and NPR’s Shirley Hung married in 2010.
